On June 10, 2016, Alexandra "Allie" Looney, WMS class of 2004, spoke to the 12 members of the class of 2016 during the annual graduation ceremony.
Allie's Speech (Video):
Congratulations, class of 2016! I know you've all been waiting for this day since you were little kindergartners, toddling around on the carpet, watching all those mysterious "big kids" taking the next big step in their academic careers. And now it's your turn! So I'm going to keep this brief because I also know what's really at stake here today - finally getting your hands on a graduation basket.

I graduated all the way back in 2004, but I still remember how weird it was to leave. Montessori was my whole world, and suddenly, everything was changing; all of my friends were going to different schools - some of them together, others by themselves. The rules of school were going to change dramatically. I was afraid that I was going to accidentally call my new middle school teachers by their first names and get in trouble, and that I would be lost without the amazing community of teachers, families and friends that I had just come from. I was afraid that nobody was going to understand.

In December 2014, the Longwood Foundation offered WMS a challenge grant of $300,000 to support our new Arts Integration Initiative. Thanks to the overwhelming support of our community, we are pleased to announce that we have been able to meet this challenge.

Each year, Code.org celebrates "Hour of Code," a week-long event during which everyone in the world is encouraged to take one hour of their time to introduce themselves to programming. During Code Week 2015, all Wilmington Montessori School students, from the ages of 1 through 12, will have the opportunity to participate in different types of coding activities.
